What elph posted is the reason guys are getting confused and working themselves up over it all, because you think terrorism that kills say five people is by default worse than a mass shooting that kills fifty.

lol at having to wiki the definition of terrorism btw

The only definition that isn't pointless afaic and isn't just a sleight-of-hand to talk about muslims would be a description of the kind of non-state organizations that would apply to both Al Qaeda and the IRA. Even these lone wolf, politically motivated muslim "terrorists" shouldn't be labeled terrorists imo, because unless they're actually affiliated with a terrorist organization, calling them terrorists only serves to give the false impression in the eyes of much of the public, both that they are actually affiliated with a terrorist organization, and that muslims are just terrorists waiting to happen. They're gonna get that impression anyway, but there's no need to help them along when it doesn't even serve a purpose.

Again, that's the terror.

P.S. Since the Diversity Immigrant Visa program was started 27 years ago it's estimated that over 2.7 million immigrants have attained US citizenship.

1 / 2.7 million = .000037%

That's like 37 cents out of a million dollars.

Yet Trump and his cult want to blame the program for NYC, shut it down, and try to fire up the muslim ban again.

I looked up the word pissant before replying to remind myself of the definition. I felt it would have been cruel to remark at you cuttingly. Figured **** off would suffice. Sorry to disappoint.

Invent a firearm that fires non lethal bullets and disables the attacker (basically a taser that fires bullets or something, knocking the attacker out for five minutes or unconscious or whatever)

not to muddy the waters further but the US is a leading terrorist state if you hold it to the same standards
